- I will NOT grade a graph. Graphing functions will be helpful, but the actual graphs will not be graded. I will not be testing your ability to draw. You will be asked to identify certain objects in a graph (focus, eccentricity, vertices, etc.).
- Chapter 10 consists of 42% of the possible points on the final. The remaining points come from Chapters 6-9.
- Suggested problems from 10.7: odd problems (especially 23 and 25), 4, 14, 16, 24
- The following topics will not be covered:
- Section 6.7
- Section 7.6
- Probability Density Functions from Section 8.3
- Cycloids and arclength from Section 10.4
- NOTECARD
You may bring one handwritten, one-sided, regulation size piece of paper. Handwritten means that nothing can be mechanically reproduced. One-sided means that one side of the page must be completely blank. Regulation size means a maximum size of 8.5x11. Anything else will be taken by the proctor.
- Calculator
As usual, you may only use a non-graphing, non-programmable calculator. No exceptions.
- Suggested things to study:
- Midterms
- Quizzes
- Homework
- Chapter Review (last section) from each chapter
Homework:
Homework assignments will posted at least one week prior to the due date.
Quiz Solutions
Solutions to quizzes will be posted after the quizzes are graded. Quiz grades are out of 20 points. The number following the link to the solutions is the average grade of those who took the quiz.
Midterm Solutions
Midterm solutions will be posted after the midterm has been returned.

Midterm 2 Grade Distribution
Slope Field Calculator (Section 6.7)
- The slope field calculator I used in class can be found here. Thanks to the java applet author, Marek Rychlik. Thanks also to the Michigan Math Department that I linked to.
Graphs of Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Section 6.8)
The following demos are from Demos with Positive Impact and were created by David R. Hill of Temple University. (In the following, when a function is written in a color, that corresponds to the color on the graph.)
- Here is a visualization of graphing sin x and its inverse.
- Here is a visualization of graphing cos x and its inverse.
- Here is a visualization of graphing tan x and its inverse.
- Try to answer the questions about the black line. To check your answers click here.
Chapter 7: Techniques of Integraion
- Standard Integral Slides No one has become a ninja by reading a book or watching someone else practice the skills of a ninja. To become a ninja you must practice hard, practice with focus, and practice often. To become an integrating ninja, you must practice! The standard integrals are like the basic blocking techniques of a ninja. There is no need to learn how to attack if you do not know how to block. We will be attacking more complicated integrals. Without the knowledge of the standard integrals, this will be exceptionally difficult.
